THE return of several teams to the National Rugby 7s Championship is expected to add greater depth to this year’s competition, with 38 local teams set to contest four titles over three days at the Tengku Muhammad Ismail Rugby Stadium from Friday.
The 2026 edition will feature the Men’s Open, Women’s Open, Men’s Under-21 and Women’s Under-21 categories, with the biggest representation coming from the men’s open division.
A total of 15 teams will compete for the Amir Amri Cup, replacing the Ung Khek Cheow Cup which previously served as the prize for the category.
